Swisher council sets March 4 special election for 1% local-option sales tax
Summary
The council approved a resolution setting a March 4, 2025 special election on a proposed 1% local-option sales tax that would take effect July 1, 2025 if voters approve; the resolution specifies that the tax would have no sunset and outlines intended uses for revenue.
The Swisher City Council on Oct. 14 approved a resolution setting a special election for March 4, 2025 on whether to impose a 1% local-option sales tax. The council also approved a companion resolution that would impose the tax, if approved by voters, effective July 1, 2025, with no sunset and language specifying how the revenue should be applied.
Both resolutions were approved by recorded council motions. The minutes record the council action and the election date; the minutes do not include detailed ballot language, revenue estimates, timeline for spending plans, or voter outreach plans. Those details will be prepared by city administration and published in advance of the election as required by law.
The council’s resolution to set the election does not itself impose the tax; imposition is contingent on voter approval on the scheduled date. The minutes record unanimous council support for setting the election date and approving the resolution that would impose the tax if voters agree.
